A Sunny Day in Hahndorf & Woodside

To the lady who wanted to know about Inch Licorice blocks: There is a store in Macquarie Centre, Ryde, that sells them. I don't know the name of the store, but it's quite small, is next to some elevators, and sells only unusual confectionery.

This is a comment to the management of Melba's Chocolate. Recently,I bought an Inch Licorice block at a petrol station in Bulladelay. It was the nicest licorice that I have tasted. I would love to know how to obtain more. Please could you tell me who stocks it on the north side of Sydneyor do you send by post. Regards Janet Fairlie-Cuninghame
